Aldeyjarfoss waterfall in North Iceland was an unexpected highlight. We actually had to backtrack to visit it on a 4wd accessible road and were very glad we did as it was spectacular! Then it was off to explore the rest of Mývatn – Skútustaðir pseudocraters, Höfði Peninsula on Lake Mývatn, Hverfjall Crater, and the Krafla…Continue reading Iceland – Mývatn, Borgarfjörður eystri, Seyðisfjörður, Vestrahorn, Jökulsárlón, Vatnajökull National Park, Vík, Skógar & Þórsmörk
